Millwall boss Gary Rowett believes Leeds United will be a very difficult place to go next season, but insists their return to the Championship does not make them automatic favourites for promotion. The Lion boss points to the example of Watford, who were relegated from the Premier League back in 2022 and failed to bounce back at the first time of asking.
Rowett says Leeds, Leicester City and Southampton, will need to earn the right of promotion. When asked about the three recently relegated Premier League sides, the Lions boss told the South London Press : “They are all very good teams and very strong clubs. Leeds is always a very difficult place to go.
"Southampton are quite a young squad with the likes of Che Adams and Adam Armstrong who have played and done well in the Championship. Leicester is a club I played at for a while – it’s incredible to see them back in the Championship after being so good and winning the title.
